First, the marriage must have been broken for at least six months. Second, the couple must determine child custody, visitation, spousal and child support, and visitation rights beforehand.

New York only started offering the no-fault divorce option in Before that, it had two options that were similar to no-fault divorces, and both options are still available today. You can get divorced one year after creating a legal separation agreement or one year after a judgment of separation.
While both are valid ways to get divorced, few people use these methods any longer now that they can get a no-fault divorce within six months of the marriage breaking down. While no-fault divorce is the easiest on couples, fault divorces are a viable option for many spouses. If one spouse has committed egregious behavior, the other spouse could get more in alimony.
